Ulupna Island Station, 2011

Ulupna is a rural district in central northern Victoria, 70 km north-east of Echuca and 7 km from Tocumwal, New South Wales. The name was probably derived from an Aboriginal word of uncertain meaning and was an alternate name for the Strathmerton pastoral run.
Physiographically the name is preserved in the Ulupna Creek, an anabranch of the Murray River, and the land enclosed by the creek and the river is known as Ulupna Island. The western sector of the island is a State forest reserve, and numerous Aboriginal sites have been identified in an archaeological survey (1995).
